1/5 Unlistenable
  by Robin Landry
I got the soundtrack to The Assassination of Jesse James by The Coward Robert Ford, I am totally addicted to it. I went ahead and got this soundtrack from Nick Cave hoping and thinking that it would be more of the same beautiful music,it wasn't it was horrible. If I had been able to listen to samples I could have saved myself 14 bucks.

4/5 4 1/2 stars for a moody, creepily beautiful disc

I love the movie, so I'm a bit biased concerning the soundtrack. I also love Nick Cave, so again, I'm not to be entirely trusted. Still, Warren Ellis and Cave have created another character for this incredible film with the soundtrack. The music is integral to the success of the film; I cannot imagine the movie without hearing the noises Ellis and Cave created. The music crawls and oozes, sinks and stirs. I recommend it highly. Watch the film, buy the music.

3/5 One great cut

I bought this disk because I couldn't find a single mp3 of "Happy Land". The rest of the songs on the disk sounded great in the context of the movie, but not so great on their own.

5/5 38... 39...

What's great about this soundtrack is the uniqueness. Wait a sec. I know, now-a-days thats hard to come by, in fact its almost nil. The soundtrack to the Proposition has odd tempos, haunting vocals, and whispering voices. All of this compliments the great film that you are seeing on screen. If I could compare the style of this soundtrack to another, if I may, I would say that its similar in grain to the Carnivale soundtrack. If you are a writer, and need some inspiration of the dark mooded, atmospheric variety, then this is for you. The opening theme is uplifting and sad, kicking of an edge of ghostliness. This is a great soundtrack. I recommend that you listen to the samples above to determine if it's up your alley, because a writer needs "correct" inspiration, depending on the mood of their setting. Personally, I love it.

3/5 Peggy Gordon
  by Ironic I (Blue Lake CA USA)
The missing song on the CD (unfortunately it is missing) is the Irish traditional song Peggy Gordon. I guess the CD wanted to emphasize Nick Cave's music only. When the DVD comes out, I highly recommend this picture, which although quite brutally graphic at times, has brilliant cinematography throughout. The film left me feeling that I had just seen a series of images any of which would be suitable as a still life or landscape. Breathtaking!!!!!!
